If it's wet, it's clean....scrubing means nothing.
The translation of the word "impossible" is tidak mungkin which means, maybe not. You never give a definite "no" in this culture.
If you haven't done something/been somewhere, etc. and when asked about it, you say "not yet." Doesn't matter if it's a 80 year old lady who's never been married. If someone asks her if she's married, it's always, belum...not yet!
If you're a girl and walking down the street and hear, "Hello Mister!" Yes, they are talking to you....
When you see a sign that says "Open 24/7" it means they close at midnight.
If you wear a modest one piece bathing suit, it's the equivalent of wearing a string bikini in the US.
If you sleep past 7 am, that's sleeping in.
You rarely ever CALL someone with your cell phone, a cell phone is for SMSing (same as texting)
The lanes on the road don't really mean anything.
If you haven't eaten rice, then you've only had a snack.
Toilet paper...that's for blowing your nose right?
